Are any of these schools “need aware” for int’ls?

Yes, at Alabama, you would qualify for free tuition. If you major in eng’g or Comp Sci, then you’ll also get 2500 per year.

Have you determined how you will pay for the remaining costs?

I picked these colleges off this list: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/1698406-to-all-international-students-asking-for-huge-amounts-of-aid-p1.html
I’ll be majoring in CS and yes, I’m thinking of taking an education loan from India.
The colleges that I’ll be getting into in India have the highest placement’s salary (overseas, to the US) around the average at UA, so I’ll take a chance and go if I get in.

What do you think of my chances, though?
